Eppic Israel Is Home

Brian of London is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy. Since making aliyah in 2009, Brian has blogged at Israellycool. Brian's interests include electric cars, world peace and putting an end to world hunger.

Towards the end of last year, StandWithUs Israeli Fellows at Bar Ilan Unvierstiy hosted widely-followed YouTube star rapper Eppic to join 2 finalists from Israel TV’s “The Voice” – Daniella Millo and Rudi Baynesay – to sing about what it means to be home – in Israel.

Eppic has just launched the music video. The result is stunning.

We are dedicating our participation in the video “Home” – with its meaningful lyrics – to the 3 kidnapped boys, Gilad, Naftali and Eyal in the hope that they will return home to Israel soon.

"Israellycool is one of a few excellent blogs digging into stories, giving context to the news as reported and shining a light on slanted and biased journalistic agendas" - Michael Dickson, StandWithUs

"..the notorious Israellycool.com, which gently skips between right-wing rants against Islam, posts about science fiction and - what else? - blogs about the Eurovision song contest." - Tim Jonze, The Guardian

"Posting from Israelly cool is like posting from Der Sturmer. "Probably the most infamous was ‘Der Stűrmer’ by the anti-Semite Julius Streicher who claimed that ‘Der Stűrmer’ was Hitler’s favourite read. However, Goebbels viewed the newspaper as little more than a ‘daily rag’ and believed that it was more likely to harm the regime than present it in its best light such was the paucity of its contents that occasionally bordered on the pornographic." Good old Aussie dan fits the definition perfectly" - Greta Berlin
